Champion 3100 - running an AC - how many hrs out of a tank?
Can anyone tell me how many hours a Champion 3100 inverter generator will run on a tank while running a roof air?

UPDATED: Champion Extended Run Kit
Disclaimer: I have not personally used these parts yet but I do intend to in the next few weeks and will post a follow-up. If you are unsure about the research and parts list discerned from the video, consider just buying the Pinellas kit (link to buy is on the youtube page with the Pinellas video.)
Based on research of several Champion 3100 mods and comments from others, a DIY parts list has been assembled for the Champion 3100 Extended Run kit. The screen shot PDF contains a photo of each part as it's to be installed and includes comments on purpose etc. Both the parts list and the commented screen shots are located at the message board linked below. Parts are sourceable at Amazon. Total price is now about $74. 6 gal. Tank and Tank Hose if you need them are an additional $87.
Champion now sells a 3400 watt model and a 3400 watt Duel Fuel model in addition to the various 3100 models. A Parallel kit that supports running two 3100 or 3400 is also available. The Extended Run Kits will work for any Champion 3100/3400 unit except the New Dual Fuel 3400. The fuel selector knob that the Extended kit uses to select between onboard gas tank vs. external gas tank is used by the Dual Fuel 3400 to select between Gas vs. Propane thus you cannot use this kit for that model.
